Start your trip in Cochin, then take a scenic 4.5 to 5-hour drive to Varkala. On the way, you will see Kerala’s green countryside before reaching this beautiful beach town. After checking into your hotel, enjoy lunch at a café on the cliff with amazing sea views. In the evening, relax at Varkala Beach or Papanasam Beach, both known for their beauty. Walk along the cliff filled with small shops and cafés, and don’t miss the colourful sunset. End your day with a tasty dinner, trying famous Kerala dishes like Fish Curry or Karimeen Pollichathu. Stay overnight in Varkala.

Begin your day in Varkala with a calm beach walk or a yoga session by the sea. You can also visit nearby attractions, such as the Janardhana Swamy Temple or the Anjengo Fort and Lighthouse. In the afternoon, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, do some shopping, or relax in a hammock by the beach. As evening comes, watch the beautiful sunset from the cliffs once again. Later, you can explore different cafés, enjoy live music, or even join a beach bonfire. End your day soaking in the peaceful coastal vibe before resting overnight in Varkala.

After breakfast, say goodbye to Varkala and take a 3 to 3.5-hour drive to Alleppey, a place famous for its calm backwaters. When you arrive, check into your private houseboat around noon. You’ll be welcomed with a drink before the cruise begins. As the boat moves through palm trees and green fields, enjoy a tasty Kerala lunch. You can also stop to see a local market or a toddy shop if you like. In the evening, watch the sunset from the deck, then enjoy snacks and a traditional dinner. The boat will stop in a quiet village area for a peaceful night’s stay.

Wake up to the calm sounds of the backwaters and enjoy a light Kerala breakfast on your houseboat. By mid-morning, the boat will return to the jetty, and it’s time to say goodbye to Alleppey’s peaceful waters. Your driver will take you back to Cochin, a journey of about 1.5 to 2 hours. Your Kerala trip ends with a drop-off at Cochin Airport or Railway Station, leaving you with happy memories of nature and peace.
